I recently aquired a xbox 360 slim, that doesnt read games. i got it for dirt cheap so im not complaining. I switched a dvd drive on a fat xbox 360. it was a benq so i had to soder off the pcb board and resoder it onto the new drive. i was wondering can you do this same thing with the xbox slim drives or are you only able to update the key by flasing the drive? id rather just swap the boards on the slim as well. thanks for any help

Should be possible, as long as it's the same brand drive.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

replacing the laser would be a lot cheaper than doing the entire drive, and if you have experience with soldering, taking out one screw and a ribbon cable should not be any kind of chore! new laser = 8 dollars, replacement drive = 70 dollars!

I'm deployed, so waiting for a new xbox 360 takes time. I swapped out the disk drives from a fat white 360 into the slim 4g 360, because the disk drive wouldn't open and it also didn't work anymore. Everything switched over, whith some cutting and swapping wires for a longer one. It works fine but it reads the games as DVDs and not as games. Any ideas?
